"Stories on the Sabbath"

Well it's been a very busy week for me.  I was able to go to BYU Education Week this week and it was AWESOME!  As I walked from class to class, I would take deep breaths of fresh air and just say to myself, "I can't believe I am healthy enough to be doing this!  Six months ago I would have never dreamed I would have the strength to do this."  I had an incredible experience and I feel so very uplifted from what I learned!  It was a special treat when my daughter Charlene came on Wednesday and I was able to go to some classes with her during the rest of the week.

Two years ago when we moved to Provo, I got to go the Education Week for the first time in years.  I was so excited about it that I invited a few friends to come over and "share" what we had learned with each other.  I let them go first and then I ended with just a few slides.  Well 35 slides later, and people's heads nodding, I realized that I had dumped way too much on them!  That experience is now our family joke when I start getting too intense about something, someone will just say,  "why don't you just share a few slides with us mom" and I quickly get the message. :-)

Sooooooo, because I learned so many awesome things, and so that I don't end up dumping the whole load on my blog, I thought I would take a Sunday every now and then and share some of the wonderful insights that I learned at BYU Education Weeks this year!  I'm too tired to share anything right now, but hope you will stay tune during the coming weeks to hear what I've learned.

Yesterday, was the final day of our 70 day program of reading the Book of Mormon!  Yippee.  That was incredible and overwhelming all at the same time!  For those of you who didn't hear about it or who would like to start a scripture reading program, feel free to go to my blog.  Here is the official website.

Even if you don't read the whole scripture block each day, you can go here for a daily devotional for you or your family which consists of; a spiritual thought, 3 or 4 focus scriptures, food for thought (coments from when I taught Institute) and children's videos that go along with the scripture block.
